Function Details
Compliance
DV and DI commands enable you to specify the polarity mode, auto or manual.
Auto Sets the compliance as described above. Initial setting.
Manual Sets the compliance as described below.
• Polarity of current compliance
The Keysight E5260/E5270 automatically sets current compliance for both
positive and negative polarity. For opposite polarity as the specified compliance
value, the compliance value is increased by an amount that is 2.5 % to 12 % of
the range value in the lowest range that covers the specified compliance value.
See Figure 6-2.
• Polarity of voltage compliance
If the output current is the same polarity as the specified compliance value, the
compliance works as the maximum voltage limiter for the same direction as the
compliance polarity. For opposite polarity, the compliance works as the
minimum voltage limiter. See
